Michael reviewed the lens cleaner for the blue ray player as excellent & allowed him to see & review the blue ray edition of 'Avatar' as pretty and containing good explanatory scenes
Ric reviewed 'Gollum sings Wrecking Ball' on Youtube as delightful & reviewed the CW's 'Tomorrow People' as recommended; reviewed the Traviseo wine tasting as pleasant & reviewed 'The Smoking Pig' in SJ as very impressive & Chris recommends the cornbread
Chris reviewed a Castillo de Amaroso winery tasting as the grape juice was spectacular & the olive oil tasting changed his life; reviewed the 'Carrie' remake as not bad & reviewed 'Machete Kills' as a sf movie & that Charlie Sheen was fricking awesome
Eric reviewed the DVD set for 'I Claudius' as even better than he remembered - highly recommended - especially the $13 cost for the set at Costco
Howeird reviewed 'Gravity' as see the film and you'll understand the punchline
Michael reviewed the newest Baycon PR as fabulous for the 2 pictures of John O with and without beard
JC reviewed 'Arrow' as it had bare flesh again & reviewed 'Agents of Shield' as clever
